In this paper, the minimization of dwell time is considered, where an iterative search algorithm is developed from the singular value perspectives. The local minimal dwell time obtained in this paper can be used to estimate the upper bound on how fast the plant's parameters can vary. Meanwhile, the switching controller synthesis with optimal dwell time is also discussed, where robust stabilizer design algorithm is presented to achieve robust stability at certain operating range, as well as the local minimal dwell time for controller switching. A numerical example is given to illustrate the proposed algorithm.EnglishController switchingDwell timeNumerical exampleOperating rangesParameter-varying systemsRobust stabilityRobust stabilizersSearch algorithmsSingular valuesSwitched controllerSwitching controlSwitching controllersUpper boundVarying time delayAlgorithmsOptimizationSwitching systemsControllersConference Paper10.1109/CDC.2011.6160365
